I know this sounds gross!?

Question

I sweat bad! I've tried all different kinds of deodorant and anti-perspirant and nothing seems to get the job done. The stick stuff just flakes right off and the clear stuff just makes it worse. The spray kind seems to work the best but still i end up with wet arm pits before the day is over. I don't know what else to try. Someone please tell me that they have had this problem and know what will help.

Answer 1

You could have over active sweat glands. If you go see a doctor they have rx deodorant that really works well. When I was a lot younger I use to have that problem and would wear jackets a lot to cover the pit stains. It can be real embarssing. My doctor gave me the rx deodorant and I used it for about 6 months.... that was about 8 yrs ago and I now can wear reg deodorant with a problem. Good luck.

Answer 2

I used to have this trouble, too. I tried different anti-perspirants and stuff and they just didn't work.

This is going to sound ridiculous...but this is what I did: I stopped using anti-perspirants. The trouble is that the aluminum compounds used in anti-perspirants are actually REALLY bad for you. The reason you sweat *more* when you use them is because your body is trying to get rid of the toxin by sweating it out.

Stop using it for a week or two. I swear. I sweated a lot the first week because my body was used to having the anti-perspirant on it, but after that I just kind of stopped sweating nearly as much. I use just a regular non-antiperspirant deodorant now and have little to no trouble with sweating extra.

Aluminum compounds are really not that good for you. I mean, you have sweatglands for a reason: to help regulate your body temperature. So does it then make sense to try to block them up and prevent them from doing their job?

Take a week or two, stop stop stop using anti-perspirants and the amount you sweat will reduce. I swear.

Answer 3

aww you poor thing. there are some that have a really hard time with sweating. Now I don't know in your particular case if you are going through adolescence but, I know that doctors have a special deodorant that they have prescribed for people that do sweat profusely.
Do you drink lots of water that might be it.
I sweat alot too. don't worry your body is doing a good cleansing where as others don't sweat at all.

I don't know what else to tell you. Usually if you have proper and good hygiene you don't smell. Its just sometimes very embarrassing.
I hope that the doctor might be able to suggest something for you.
Good luck Happy New Year.

Answer 4

"Arm & Hammer" has an Anti-perspirant / Deodorant on the market. It comes in spray and solid form.
"Degree" is also good.
Always shave the armpits,to keep moisture away.
If these suggestions don't work,then seek medical help. I'm sure the Doctor can tell you what the problem is (Good Luck)

Answer 5

Firstly you need to exfoliate under your armpits and by this I mean use a rag or wash cloth with bath soap applied to it to scrub under your arms.

Next step is to dry completely (I assume that your armpits are shaved) when dry apply deodorant I suggest using a roll on such as Avon or Ban a liquid anti-perspirant.

There is nothing that will stop you perspiring but you can do things such like this to alleviate the wetness and odor.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I had the same problem, and I know you said you tried the spray. But if you haven't tried it, try Arrid XXX aerosol spray. Its a deodorant and anti-perspirant. It works for me. It doesnt leave white marks unless you use a whole lot.

Good luck!

Answer 8

Find a deodorant with aluminum compounds in it. Those are what keeps you from sweating but be warned that when you put on antiperspirant that you will sweat more in other places such as your palms, back, head, etc. If that doesn't help, you may suffer from hyperhidrosis AKA excessive sweating and a doctor may have to prescribe something such as DrySol.

Answer 9

Have you tried Certain-Dri? You can find it at Walgreens and is strictly an anti-perspirant. You put it on at night and it prevents you from sweating. I swear it works. Otherwise, talk to your doctor. He can help you out. Believe me, this is a common problem.

Answer 10

have the same problem... an antiperspirant with more aluminum seems to work.
also there is a medicine/chemical called Drysol that can be prescribed by a doctor that will burn the hell out of your sweat glands....i think it is a highly concentrated aluminum chemical that really did the trick...it hurt BAD though.
